BAO PHARMA-B (02659.HK), which was listed in December last year, opened down 0.4% this morning (30th) with losses widening sharply. The stock was last quoted at HKD26.92 near the close, down 64.06%. Turnover surged to 24.2661 million shares, involving HKD739 million.

The company is a biotechnology firm focusing on large-volume subcutaneous drug delivery, antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases, assisted reproduction and recombinant biopharmaceuticals. It was officially included in the Hong Kong Stock Connect on March 9 this year. Market analysts noted that BAO PHARMA-B recorded astonishing gains in the early stage after listing, hitting a high of HKD206 in late February this year, representing a cumulative increase of 6.8x from its listing price of HKD26.38. As earnings pressure emerged and the overall Hong Kong biopharmaceutical sector weakened, profit-taking triggered a rush of selling.

The company reported revenue of RMB49.156 million last year, up 698% YoY. Losses widened to RMB395 million, compared with a loss of RMB364 million in the same period a year earlier. LPS was RMB1.36. (da/j)
